- Place the roasted garlic into a blender or food processor.
- Add the 1 tablespoon remaining olive oil and 1/4 cup cream and whirl until garlic is pulverized.
- Add the rest of the cream, sour cream, Parmesan cheese, salt and pepper.
- Whirl to combine.
- Sauce will be thick at this point. Set aside.
- Cook the pasta until al dente; drain.
- Melt the butter in a skillet.
- Add the pasta and toss with the butter until coated.
- Add the sauce, cook and stir until sauce becomes thin.
- Simmer for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Serve immediately with extra Parmesan cheese on top to desired taste.
- To make this a more substantial meal, you could add chopped cooked chicken or shrimp, broccoli or peas.

What can I say about myself that hasn't already been mentioned in the police reports? Just kidding! I'm a single guy who loves to cook! Good thing, or I'd starve or go broke eating out! I love to read, horror and mysteries are my favorite.
Love music, (except rap) and I'm a huge Green Bay Packer Fan!
